Threaded Neill-Concelman, a threaded version of the standard BNC RF connector.

Threaded Neill-Concelman is a 50-ohm or 75-ohm radio frequency connector that uses a screw thread for mating rather than a bayonet mount. The threaded coupling provides a more secure mechanical connection and better performance at microwave frequencies, typically operating up to 11 GHz without signal leakage or vibration issues.

Heard on the job

The antenna feed uses a TNC instead of a BNC so it won't rattle loose on the vehicle mount.
